Cllr Rob O’Donoghue has alerted the people of Lusk that developers are looking to provide more housing but he feels more infrastructure not housing is needed at present. He said, “ As you are aware during the Fingal Development Plan 2005/2011, at a time when we had no Councillor in the town of Lusk, a huge cohort of land was rezoned for residential purposes, by developer driven councillors.It has to be stated that during that public consultation process there was very little input or objections from the people of Lusk to those rezonings.Over the past two Development Plans 2011-2017 and 2017-2023, although there were motions put down from Councillors outside the town of Lusk requesting to have more of our land rezoned, this was resisted by our Councillor and in the main very little extra land was rezoned during that period.As the next Development Plan process is about to commence, I wish to alert you to the fact that it has come to my attention that there has been certain “activity” from Developers who are once again targeting local land for further rezoning.I can state there is already enough land rezoned to meet the needs for sustainable development for the next 10 years and the emphasis now should focus on infrastructure before any consideration is given to further housing and I am calling on the people of Lusk to support me in my opposition to any proposal for further residential land rezoning. History has shown the previous tactics of Developers who dangled various carrots to obtain support locally which ultimately resulted in a less than favourable outcome for the community i.e. more and more housing. It is my belief that services that are beneficial and indeed necessary to the community should be in place before any consideration be given to further development and at this stage of the Development Plan, our town needs a period of time to settle. To the people of Lusk I say, I am looking forward to meeting you again on the doors once the current climate improves.”
